A PENSIONER collapsed and died moments after being attacked by seagulls outside his home.

Witnesses told how the birds continued to attack neighbours as they tried to revive Wilfred Roby, 80.

The retired ambulance driver, originally from Wigan, had been attempting to clear mess left by gulls on his garage roof at Craig y Don estate, Benllech, Anglesey, on Wednesday morning. He suffered a suspected heart attack.

Ralph Smith, who lives opposite, said he saw Mr Roby on his garage roof sweeping away the mess.

He said: "I think there was a nest with some chicks there and I think the gulls may have been trying to defend the nest.

"I think poor Wilf became agitated and collapsed.

David Lewis-Roberts, who lives nearby, said he and his wife had been regularly attacked by gulls in their garden.

Police said the death of Mr Roby was not being treated as suspicious and a report was being prepared for the North West Wales coroner.
